Definitely agree. The Yankees limited Severino in 2018 and what did it do for them? He missed almost the entire 2019 season.
However, there is the case of Tanaka, who I think is the perfect example of your tailored thinking. The Yankees have successfully avoided any kind of major surgery on an elbow they know is bound to need it through careful management of him. But it seems to me that not everyone requires this approach and this approach may in fact do more harm than good for a lot of people.
